Last updated : 16 July 2006 By Stand Free Ed

ABERDEEN suffered their first pre-season defeat in this afternoon's game with Jomo Cosmos at Loftus Stadium in Pretoria.

The tourists lost 2-0 thanks to a goal in each half from their hosts.

Dons gaffer Jimmy Calderwood fielded a largely second-string side, with Langfield, Diamond and Crawford the only established first-team regulars in the starting XI.

While the Dons management team will see the game as a useful run-out, they will be looking for a better performance in Wednesday's second encounter with the Cosmos at Huntersfield Stadium.

Aberdeen: Langfield, Donald (Touzani), Hamama (Byrne), Winter (Dempsey), Diamond, Considine, Foster, Macaulay (Nicholson), Crawford, Mackie (Stewart), Maguire (Smith).
